Yes Obama will avoid the debates as much as possible. Problem for him is, there will be great pressure to do 2 or 3. Then again, if Obama is behind he may need to debate.
OTOH Obama loves to hear himself talk, thinks he has been a great president, and thinks everyone else loves to hear him talk.
“Obama loves to hear himself talk...and thinks everyone else loves to hear him talk.”
In all candor I get a headache when I hear his voice. It is more annoying than fingernails scraped across a blackboard, or the boom boom boom of some idiot teenager’s car stereo.
